The choir at the beginning is deeply moving.

Спаси, Господи, люди Твоя, И благослови достояние Твое. победы борющимся за веру правую и за святую Русь, На сопротивныя даруя. И Твое сохраняя, Крестом Твоим жительство.

Without cannons, but one of the greatest versions presented of 1812.

there are cannons, represented by the bass drum

@@eduardomendonca8798tbh I feel like the cannons take away from the overture, and even Tchaikovsky felt that way.

Hymn at the beginning (God Preserve Thy People). Grant salvation to Thy people, Lord, and we pray Thee bless thine inheritance, O God. Grant vict'ry to those who fight to save our righteous faith and our dear sacred land. and from all evil deliver us. Then the guardian of perfect grace, the cross will forever be. The cross will forever be The cross will be, the cross. Then at measure 358, right after the long descending passage, the exciting conclusion (God Preserve Thy People/God Save the Tsar). Grant salvation to Thy people, Lord, and we pray Thee bless thine inheritance, O God. Grant vict'ry to those who fight to save our righteous faith and our dear sacred land. And we pray Thee bless thine inheritance, our dear sacred land, our sacred land. God save our sacred land. God grant us vict'ry , vict'ry against our foe! God save our sacred land! Give Us Peace!

Where are the strong Baritone/Bass voices in the beginning? Sounds kind of incomplete without that deep undertone.

[@jerrymejias5940]

I’m trying to find the orchestra parts to Buketoff’s edition. Does anyone know where to find them?

[@deanwilliams2353]

They are the same. However, at the beginning, the cellos do not play the choral parts, and when the children's choir sings, the wind instruments who usually play the melody generaaly do not play. Other than that, there are no differences of which I am aware.

[@acromiton]

@@deanwilliams2353 Mr Williams I think you are quite correct

[@acromiton]

Mr Mejias, I used to have it. If I find it, we'll be in touch.

This is not Igor Buketoff's arrangement as the description claims. There are some very noticeable differences and this version is worse overall.

[@richardclay]

A bit slow, however. This normally doesn't run over 15-or 16-minutes. ALSO, the musicians and chorus seem tired, bored, uninspired. Really too bad. Perhaps they rehearsed a bit too much. Normally this is one of my very favorite pieces.

[@chrisnabavi1490]

I agree. I had great hopes for this, having only recently discovered the choral version, but I found this version too mechanical and lacking passion.

[@Arckivio]

@@chrisnabavi1490 Try the choral version by Andrew Litton, it is amazing!!!

[@acromiton]

The first part needs to be slow, yet I agree - from the boy's choir ("u vorot") up to when they get to the "Bozhe tsarya khrani" bit they should be IN FLAMES as they're winning a was against bloody Napoleon. Instead, they drag. Eighteen minutes for this piece sound as ludicrous as Lenny Bernstein's eight ones for Elgar's "Nimrod".

Too slow and nice to see all the choir well turned out so well, but 3 boys let the choir down, the rest made great effort to wear either neck tie, black or white tie and the 3 just did not bother at all.
